JRI - POLAND: POLISH STATE ARCHIVES PROJECT

Indices for previously unavailable records

The goal of the Jewish Records Indexing - Poland milestone agreement with the Polish State
Archives is to index all Jewish vital records more than 100 years old in the Polish State Archives
that are not included in the microfilm collection of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints (the Mormons). Copies of these records are available from
the Polish State Archives.

Indexing is proceeding on an archive by archive basis and data entry is
underway on the Jewish vital records for the towns in the Przemyśl branch of
the Polish State Archives.

After fundraising for each town has been completed and the data has been
processed, it will become available on-line. See the Project
Status page for the current status of the fundraising for the towns in
the Przemyśl project.

Additional Jewish vital records for some towns in Southern Poland, in the area of the former
Western Galicia, are available at local Civil Records Offices. For more information, send an email
to the contact listed.

Surviving records less than 100 years old are held in the Civil Records Offices (Urzad Stanu Cywilnego)
of each town.

For information on the 20th century records available for your town, visit the
Routes to Roots Foundation website,
CLICK ON THE 'SEARCH DATABASE' button (on the right side) and enter the town name.
Look for the town name in the Repository/City column of the search results. There are typically links to
lists of available births, marriage and death records for the town.

Note, however, the Routes to Roots Foundation database may indicate turn of the century records that have already been
transferred to the appropriate branch of the Polish State Archives where they can be indexed for the
JRI-Poland database.
